ORIGIN

This 1993 GMC Typhoon is a black-on-black example which was purchased new in Colorado by its previous owner and went to Arizona when acquired by the seller in 2000. Power is from a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and modifications include Bilstein shocks, a thicker sway bar, a Kenny Bell cold air intake, and removal of a stock muffler. This Typhoon is offered with service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

This Typhoon is reportedly one of 2,200 produced for 1993, with just over 1,000 specified in black on black. Sculpted lower bodywork, a color-keyed grille and trim, and gold badging and decals are featured on the exterior. Blemishes shown in gallery close-ups include a scratch on the right rear wheel arch and pitting in the windshield as well as chips on the front bumper, hood, and roof.

Stock ride height was lowered 3″ from that of the standard Jimmy, and this example has been fitted with Bilstein shocks and a thicker front sway bar. Factory 15″ alloy wheels wear 245/50 BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 tires installed in 2010.

Black leather covers the power-adjustable seats and door panels, and center and overhead consoles were standard equipment. The air conditioning system was reportedly converted to use R134a refrigerant in 2007 and has since been recharged once.

A stock CD player remains in the dash, and cruise control is equipped. An aftermarket boost gauge can be found on the A-pillar, while stock instruments include a six-place mechanical odometer showing 45k miles. The seller states that he has driven 32k miles over 19 years of ownership.

The turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 was rated at 280 horsepower with 360 lb-ft of torque in factory tune, and was capable of propelling the 3,800-lb. Typhoon from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds in contemporary testing. A Kenny Bell cold air intake has been installed. The most recent service was an oil change according to the seller, and other notable work included replacement of the valve cover gasket in 2013.

The engine mounts, suspension bushings, and idler arms are said to have been replaced in 2009-2010, though the seller notes that the vehicle wanders at low speeds due to older tires. Additional lower body and suspension components can be seen in the gallery.

Service records are said to cover the seller’s ownership from 2000-present, and excerpts can be viewed below.
